Can't get this chat window to work

Any ideas? The button is supposed to switch between a black and white background.

Code:

Im not sure, but On all the toggles I made, i kept the syntax exactly the same

A="MainHUD.MainChat.BackgroundColor=(#DDDDDD) OnPress=(B)"
B="MainHUD.MainChat.BackgroundColor=(#000000) OnPress=(A)"
OnPress="MainHUD.MainChat.BackgroundColor=(#000000) OnPress=(A)"

OR

A="Parent.Parent.BackgroundColor=(#DDDDDD) OnPress=(B)"
B="Parent.Parent.BackgroundColor=(#000000) OnPress=(A)"
OnPress="Parent.Parent.BackgroundColor=(#000000) OnPress=(A)"

Is it not working at all, or is it only toggling once but not the second time?
Another idea just came to me, don't know if this matters or not, but should the mianhud command be like how gamedata is?

example healthBAR=/gamedata.self.health (iirc)
so: /MainHUD.MainChat.BackgroundColor=(#000000) OnPress=(A)

Dont know if either of those would make a difference, but just ideas

You haven't specified a BackgroundOpacity and the default is 0.000, so the buttons may be working but the change is invisible.

yeah i realized it should be modifying the WC_Backdrop

hirebrand · #5 05-06-2005, 08:16 PM

These blasted things don't work.

Code:

<Button OnPress="Parent.Parent.WC_Backdrop.BackgroundColor=(#000000) Parent.Parent.WC_Backdrop.BackgroundColor=(#000000)" LocalTooltip="Background Color" Location="329,101" Name="ColorButton"  PackLocation="right,bottom" PackLocationProp="-058/0001,-029/0001" ScrollExtent="15,15" Size="15,15" Style="/ButtonStyles.options_button" Tooltip="Background Color">

From your original window...

A="Parent.Parent.Parent.WC_Backdrop.BackgroundColor=(#DDDDDD) OnPress=(B)"
B="Parent.Parent.Parent.WC_Backdrop.BackgroundColor=(#000000) OnPress=(A)"

Works fine in UIBuilder.

Yeah, three levels, I was gonna try that next. :P Got distracted making a fancy pentagonal player window.
